STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors
or in a well ventilated area.
2. Sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt.
Secure the cab nets.
3. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. Apply the brakes. Do not press the throttle pedal
while starting the engine.
5. Turn the ignition key to the START position.
Engage the starter for a maximum of five
seconds. Release the key when the engine
starts. Turn the key to either LIGHTS ON or
LIGHTS OFF.
6. If the engine does not start within five seconds,
return the ignition switch to the OFF position and
wait five seconds. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the
engine starts.
7. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the throttle to
aid in warm up until the engine idles smoothly.
NOTICE
Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage.
Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the vehicle is used year-round, check the oil level frequently. A rising oil level
could indicate the accumulation of contaminates such as water or excess fuel in
the bottom of the crankcase. Water in the bottom of the crankcase can lead to
engine damage and must be drained. Water accumulation increases as outside
temperature decreases.
